Right Around the River Blog

Each year, our riverfront community comes alive with a plethora of outdoor events. From regattas to triathlons to fundraisers and beyond, nearly every type of RVA activity seems to find life at Rocketts Landing. And for 2014, our events are back in full action, so mark your calendars. We’re in for another rockin’ year along the James River!

Just because it's March doesn't mean RVA has shed her winter spirits! Rocketts Landing recently turned into a wonderland as yet another snowstorm plowed through the region. While we're antsy for warmer weather (think of all the river activities waiting!), we couldn't help but be swept away as the billowing white blanketed our riverfront community. We took a bunch of pictures when the snow fell and thought we'd share!

We have a lot of community developments happening at Rocketts Landing, and we’re loving the action around here! Not only are our Riverbank Terraces at Bankside Mews residents moving in right now — construction’s gearing up for the first round of HHHunt townhomes just down the street.

Spring has finally arrived, which (hopefully!) means more sunshine and recreation-filled days in the great outdoors. Fortunately, when we want to get out and enjoy the weather, not only do we have many ways to stay active right here along the river at Rocketts Landing— RVA’s vast park system surrounds us. From exploring Richmond’s rich history, skyline views, athletic courses and beyond, we have plenty of ways to recreate right around the river.

Ever since Richmond was selected to host the 2015 UCI Road World Championships, RVA’s been all abuzz with excitement. Already, the city’s working hard to prepare for the global audience — both physical and virtual — that will descend upon us. And, at Rocketts Landing, we’re certainly thrilled for the action. Not only because we’ll get to watch an esteemed race right here in our fair city, but also because UCI will zoom right by Rocketts Landing!
